Pros

Great brand, longevity, good workers doing best they can.

Cons

The promised culture, like at so many of these companies that say they support you, want to help you grow and create a good work/life balance are performative at best and nonexistent at worst. They don't care, unless you perform and by perform, they mean help them get out of the sizable competitive hole they are in or you're out. Everything is about growth as fast as possible. I've never seen so many people go out on disability for burnout before. Everything looks shiny and supportive, but at the end of the day, they don't care, don't give you proper direction and then toss you when you don't meet expectations that were never really described. They've had multiple layoffs, because their target market is niche, and the larger market too competitive. And the Board is putting the squeeze on. Which is not surprising.

Pros

The main pros are that there are actually some really brilliant people who work here. They are intelligent, funny, and have an actual clear vision of how things should be done to deliver a great product to users.

Cons

The cons are that leadership only believes in and genuinely elevates white male voices. Sure, there are ERGs and prominent people of color at the company. But the real decisionmaking power is made by a combination of certain "golden boys" and their buddy, Claude. The ones driving the ship actually lack critical thinking skills.
